Who would believe that a native African could become a world leader while in prison? For 27 years, Nelson Mandela struck fear in the hearts of those who supported apartheid, and brought hope to those whose worked for it to end.

His reach was legendary. His inner strength was profound. The world viewed his march from the Robbin Island prison with awe and anticipation. People wonder what would he look like after all of those years. He emerged as a dignified man with a regal air and a servant's heart. We can only thank God for placing in our time and space a man who we know and love as President Nelson Mandela.

We celebrate his 91st birthday with the world watching, waiting and wondering will the movement for freedom every end.

As long as God is on the throne the moral arc of the universe will always tilt to freedom and justice.
